11/30 – Pallas Retro in Cancer (until Feb 16th)

Kelly M Beard – Pallas represents your unique genius and healing capacity, and in Cancer, that means that the healing, wisdom and evolution will happen through your gut-feelings and your ability to create a safe and secure environment for you and yours.

Pallas is our ‘Prismatic Perspective’ and in Cancer, those facets take on different aspects of home, family, safety and kinship. We will have to ‘feel’ our way through this energy and allow the deep re-set that comes when Pallas passes through your Cancer House every 4-5 years, deepening your dedication to creating healthy environments, taking in more nourishing food, improving your surroundings to be more comfy and cozy and nurturing our own unique wisdom and genius. Now, retrograding is very special. So use this 2.5 months to review how you take care of your Self, your rest, nourishment, joy and pleasure.

It’s time to review what you are creating with your own two hands – whatever you are developing and would like to share with others eventually. What are you a natural at cultivating and developing? Systems? Art? Gardens? Skills? Meditate to see what comes to you and use this time to reconnect with your own Soul and personal needs to make sure that they are being met in the most optimal and sustainable ways.

Also, listen for truth and wisdom coming from the children and the Elders – the young and the old do not have ulterior motives or alternative agendas – they speak Truth naturally and, often, the Wisdom that comes through is timeless and relevant.

Finally, look to humor or comedy for some Good Medicine – laughter unlocks stuck energies and heals old wounds. In this case, we may be remembering times that we aborted a creative project which had tremendous potential and now is our chance to commit to doing better going forward.

12/1 – Venus (values and priorities) oppose Mars Rx (purpose and desire)

This energy brings a balance and integration of your Inner Sacred Masculine and Feminine energies. Your Inner Sacred Masculine is supposed to negotiate on your behalf, get your ideas in the world and maintain good boundaries, while your Inner Sacred Feminine is a guiding force that creates space to contain and nurture life as well as your creative babies.

Because it is an opposition, it’s time to check-in with your Soul Self to make sure you’re not swinging between extremes, or trying to force issues rather than being open and receptive and going with the flow. Of course, Venus and Mars brings relationships into the light, forcing issues of balance and integration within your relationships as well. Remember, as you change, others must change or go away.

As you integrate more balance within you, maintaining balance with others becomes almost effortless. Also, if sexuality is an aspect of your relationship, then that too will undergo a balancing/re-balancing of sorts with this activation.

Rather than project onto one another, ask your Self some questions regarding your true desires and your true values. What is closest to your heart and fires you up from within, with no props, people or payments necessary?

12/1 – Mercury (communication) square Neptune (dissolution)

This is a mixed blessing energy. On one hand, it’s good for spiritual study and giving your dreams a little energy (if your schedule permits). On the other hand, it makes for major miscommunications between people.

Try to think before speaking, because if it’s possible to misunderstand or not ‘get it’ altogether, it will happen this week. Be careful not to let “longing” for your dreams to come true, to distort your judgment and mislead you into believing the illusion.

With this energy, some people will deliberately deceive and others have to be careful not to be misled. Stick to the facts or stay quiet, for now. You may even be inclined to withhold information to avoid a confrontation – don’t do it.

Communicate with your Self and God today, otherwise plan to be very clear in explaining yourself to others (humans) so there are no misunderstandings.

12/1 – Venus (relationships) sextile Saturn (responsibility)

This energy has to do with your obligations, within the context of relationships. They are not difficult obligations (in this case) but more emphasis is placed on really loving to serve those you care about. It is also what I would call the “keep it real” energy, regarding relationships or finances.

This activation prompts you to clarify what you are building, stabilizing and fortifying, in your relationships and finances especially. I am a total advocate of renegotiating terms as you go along because you evolve, the situation and support around you evolves, and your needs change, so often we have to remind those closest to us.

It’s really hard to grow to the next level when each person is not clear on their ever-evolving roles and responsibilities. Of course, this starts with you knowing what you do or don’t want and what you are or are not willing to compromise about and what you want to create and make real.

12/3 – Neptune direct in Pisces

If the Moon represents the individual womb, then Neptune is the collective womb. When it retrogrades annually, we are given an opportunity to consciously develop something, usually related to healing and wholeness.

The retrogrades always encourage us to go within and heal, make-whole or integrate something critical to our well-being. What healing have you been working on personally, since June 2022? Neptune is most commonly known as the planet of dreams and visions.

So on a normal day, Neptune creates the desire to daydream, create, visualize the ideal outcome (to life, relationship, project, etc.), it tends to see everything through rose-colored glasses, putting its hopeful spin on it all.

Now that it’s going forward, you can improve your boundaries and trust your intuition more often. Hopefully, you’ve also been able to reconnect to your Spirit and improve your daily spiritual practices in a way that helps you navigate the world better going forward, especially now that it is direct.
